Tricky period between swell generating storms
Tricky period between swell generating storms
Finding a window with a quality wave will be tricky this period.

We've got various pulses of inconsistent westerly swell due this period.
A trough line connected to the low remains angled SW/NE in the Tasman with a N-N/NE infeed along the trough line. With the movement of the low into the coast, winds on the southern flank are now out of the swell window so we’ll be relying on the NE infeed into the trough and potential small lows forming in the trough line for swells in the short term once the current S'ly swell fades out.
The coming week is slow and with average winds after tomorrow. The weekend doesn't look much better, with a slow start to next week.

A deepening low will drift down right into us on Sunday/Monday bringing a large pulse of swell. It'll drop as quickly as it rises.
The weekend will be fun with some new SW swell while some funky E/SE swell is due next week with tricky winds.
We've got building surf and strengthening winds due over the coming days, reaching XL Monday morning.
The current swell generating low will clear quickly to the east, resulting in a rapid drop in size in the gulf as conditions clean up.
Rapid increase in swell later this afternoon, easing through tomorrow.
